    Look into theme-changer.el https://github.com/hadronzoo/theme-changer. No longer has a maintainer but works great Set your lat/long and location and your themes and it will flip for you at sunset/sunrise.

  • Emacs Advent Calendar 7: ordeless, embark 1.0 and some bric-a-brac

    block-undo. Have keyboard macros undo in a single step (something vi gets right!).

    Installing that Embark key series implementation I mentioned above, to get extra actions for key series such binding them to a key or turning them into named keyboard macros.
  • How do guys 'namespace' calls to functions in the same 'namespace'?
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Feb 2023
    Generally I recommend to maintain all personal code in the form of tiny but proper Elisp libraries. The config just glues everything together using use-package/setup/your-self-baked-macro. See also /u/oantolin's config which uses this style: https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config. I cannot recommend this enough!
  • How many lines are in your .emacs file?
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Apr 2022
    I have 3720 lines in my configuration. I try to write as much of it as tiny packages that I configure with use-package, just like I do for external packages. (I highly recommend this form of organization) Many of these are only useful to me, but some would be very reasonable to steal, like:
  • [ANN] unpackaged/imenu-eww-headings: Offer HTML headings in EWW buffers with Imenu
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 12 Apr 2022
    I have a slightly different take on this in my configuration, file shr-heading.el. In addition to imenu support I wanted next and previous heading navigation commands. It turns out you then get imenu support for free, since one way you can specify imenu entries is by providing a "goto previous imenu entry" function.

  • Dragging the region
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 28 Feb 2022
    I wrote a small drag-region package once. You mark a region, turn on drag-region-mode and then your normal motion commands will drag the region along until you turn the minor mode off again. I never tested it with evil.
  • ecomplete: the Emacs contact manager you were looking for
    1 project | /r/emacs | 5 Feb 2022
    I'm very happy with ecomplete now, I mostly just need the completion and automatic storing of addresses I write to, as configured in your post. But occasionally I want to remove an address or manually add one, so I wrote a couple of commands to do that which I bind in embark-email-map to + (for adding) and \ (for removing). I don't think I've used these commands directly, always as Embark actions. When I want to add an email to ecomplete I usually have it written in some buffer already. And the command to remove an email I've only ever used from the ecomplete completion interface or from a message buffer after mistakenly having inserted it and realized that's an old address I'll never use again.
  • Need help integrating a package into consult
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 22 Dec 2021
    I keep some packages in a subdirectory my personal configuration and don't create a separate repo for them. (Also, not every file there is really a package that could be released: some don't follow proper naming conventions, or depend on details of my configuration).
